About<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Adopt-A-Median program is an integral part of the GCEA\u2019s Marianas Village Pride campaign and the Public Private Partnership Program. GCEA is accepting registration for projects in every village on Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. Schools, groups, families, and businesses can adopt, clean, and paint medians, sidewalks, or crosswalks in their villages. GCEA will provide the supplies. For the safety of the students, GCEA recommend that school groups adopt sidewalks and crosswalks around their schools.<\/p>\n
